With or Without

30 7 16
                                    

With you,
I'm constantly floating.

I soar above the clouds,
Happier than ever,
And you're there,
Right by my side,
With me.

Without you,
I'm constantly falling.

I break apart,
Crawl into a black hole,
Where everything is dark
Like an unlit pathway
With no end in sight.

With each bend I feel more lost,
And you're nowhere to be seen,
But you've left your mark,
You've gone far away,
Without me.

But with or without you,
My heart resumes full control
With no consultation to my brain,
Taking over every decision.

I'm numb,
Yet I blindly move forward,
Searching in the pitch blackness
For something I'll never find again.
